[The Blues EZX MiDi WiN MAC

Just about all of Doom's IWAD music uses a formulaic 12-bar blues progression. I've observed a lot of MIDI tracking software has a function to transpose parts of a track to different octaves.
For someone like me who is kind of an idiot at making music, how likely would it be for someone with some programming knowledge to create an application where you can feed it a short guitar riff or something, and it automatically spits out a full length 1-3 minutes long midi in the style of something Bobby Prince might have made for Doom?
With midi, it's almost just easier to give it what you want it to play, then copy+paste what you want repeated throughout. Most midi writing software is easy to use and combining that copy+paste along with a built-in transposer will make your life really easy. On the flip side, if you don't have a built in transposer, it's easy to figure out by hand, just move everything up or down by the same amount, within the same key, that's important. Blues goes from the root chord to the 4th, back to the first, then 5th, 4th, 1st, turnaround.
The great thing about midi is you don't need to be very musically inclined, just find yourself a reliable, user-friendly application.
there's an app called Band in a Box which would do exactly this - play back chord sequences of your choice in various preset accompanying styles, so there'll be blues in there but also funk, electro-pop and probably some hilariously embarrasing attempts at metal. if you can make the program export a MIDI like that as a starting point then you could definitely get at the innards afterwards and tweak it to your liking
on the other hand, it wouldn't be much harder than that to learn how to play music with a MIDI keybaord of your own :))) the difficulty of music's basics is woefully overstated to the point where we praise Coldplay just for being able to stand upright
Aleatoric or indeterminate music can be indeterminate in composition but not performance, indeterminate in performance but not composition, or indeterminate in both respects. The Wikipedia article Maes linked explains this.
I just downloaded the evaluation version and attempting to compare the pianos to make my bundle choice. The demo files on the web site are high quality files but unfortunately, the same files are not available for every piano. So rather than ask what pianos to get, I am asking if the midi files for the demo pieces are available for download? If so, where might I find them? Having the midi files will allow one to compare the pianos with the exact same pieces. I know, I should just play the same piece for each one but, I am a relatively new piano player and don't have the skills to produce a quality product. I tried a few "free" midi files, off the Internet, but they all seem to be low quality files. I would like a good warm classical piece, a brighter classical piece, a jazz piece, and perhaps a pop piece of some Disney music or a movie theme.
I thought PTQ6 came with a selection of demo MIDI files (from the File menu) when I first jumped in a couple of years ago... but now I am only seeing the default Blues Demo that loads up automatically. Maybe that's all there ever was, but I was thought there was a few classical pieces as well.
Thank you so much for these links, exactly what I was looking for. There are indeed some very high quality midi files in the Shared Files section of these forums as well. I appreciate everyone's input.
Literally hours of enjoyment there! One thing I forgot to mention is that you may need to adjust the velocity curve to get the best out of them. The e-competition files are fine with 'normal keyboard' setting, but they'll sound just that little bit better with a note-off curve as well (copy and paste the whole of following line into the Velocity Curve sectiion):

The other day I found myself building a simple midi jam track so I could practice a particular 4-bar turnaround lick with it. I wanted something I could easily change the tempo on, because it was a complicated lick and despite learning it really slow, like around 50 beats per minute, ultimately my goal was to play it at 100 bpm, or even 120 bpm.
